Key Words Are Your Friend
The job description contains certain key words you can highlight in your resume. The potential employer’s eye will be drawn to them since they’re exactly what they need in the position. For example, ‘Research Assistant’ or ‘Lab Experience Required.’
It’s relatively easy to include these key words in your resume if you have the appropriate experience in the field.
No More Objectives
An objective is just a fancy way of stating what YOU want. The first thing a potential employer is interested in is what you can offer, not what they can offer you. It sounds harsh, but it’s true. Their first concern is whether you’re a good fit for the position and they’re not going to ascertain that by their discovery that you’re interested in the position because you love planes or trains or earning a steady pay check.
You want to immediately highlight your skills and relevant qualifications. That means no lengthy introduction of why you want them as your employer.
Skills and Experience First
